Your boss asks you why you were in the bathroom for 3 minutes?

when I don't want to be bothered, I usually jam Lamb of God loud on my headphones to wear you can hear from 10 feet away. Works everytime.

well this morning i was away from my desk for about 5 minutes and he calls and he starts yelling, at one of the girls that works here, "where is he, where is he?!? you can't find him?!"
when i finally spoke to him he said "where were you, and i said, just stepped away for a minute, what's up?" he says "may i ask where you were?" but not in a nice way, but in a way tooooo bossy way "so i told him i was in the back with one of the production people for a second." but he was really pissed
i can't understand that, why make people be intimdated by you, when you can make them your friends and you'll get the same results. good work.

this promotional company out in long island...
sometimes i just get so sick of it and want to look for a job over in the big apple, but it sucks with these guys....
it's like up and down...all the time...good and bad...
maybe i should relocate, you're guys offices sound nice enough...
and with that said, i'll jump back into my quark pool.

dude.... I put on my headphones and never answered the phone...the boss used to send people into my office looking for me....I would have my headphones on and just wave them off.....
they used to be afraid to go back to the boss to tell them I did that....I made everyone more afraid of me then of the boss.....
the boss would call me and I would tell him I was busy and I would call him when I had time...
he used to scream at me and curse at me....then I finally figured out the answer
1) dont respond right away
2) if they give you something to do... wait...until you are asked again to see if they really need it
3) call everyone to find out if anyone else is doing it
4) dont answer your phone... always let it go to vmail
5) explain to them that if you dont pick up the phone that you are working on something important... and if it is really urgent they should send someone for you...I have a lot of other rules that work..
they all said though that ....although I was very angry over the past 3 months...and walking around without a smile...I did my best work and got more done then in the whole year.....
I said cause I did it my way....I really wanted to bust out sinatra....
